And generally, allow bitcoin.org to be mirrored, or the binaries served up by non-sourceforge hosts (mirrors and bittorrent).
It is MIT licensed, anybody can mirror it anywhere they like. You don't need anybody's permission, just do it!

Step 1: Done. Hourly pulls of website git (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.github.com.git) from github. See http://btcmirror.is/

Step 2: In progress. Replace sf.net links with local copies of all binaries and related sha(1|256)sum files plus signatures.

Step 3: In progress. Replace googleapi.com and googlecode.com script links with local copies of the files.

Step 4: Serving bitcoin website and binaries out of Iceland. Setup rsyncd for mirroring.

Step 5: There is no step 5.
